The algorithms seem to favor "featured" listings, but when looking for specific items I find just browsing the sub categories page by page works best, listing by most recent. I stopped selling there b/c it is a buyer heavy tilt, the fees, long return times (30 day now) and fact you will lose any buyer dispute makes it not worth it, at least for me. I have had some nutjob buyers that really turned me off, honestly would rather give stuff away then deal with ebay anymore
